Description:
Justus Traut is back, with another classic new idea in butt gages. The breakthrough on this gage was to put a thin metal plate on the end of the bar, and have a pair of points reference off it. This allows the door jamb to be marked off the outside of the plate and the door off the inside, leaving a gain equal to the thickness of the plate. This simple design worked quite well, making these very popular tools.

This new feature itself was a great advance in butt gages, but Traut went a few steps further. The nested arm that carries the marking points can extend past the end of the plate, allowing this tool to be set up as a mortise gage. It also carries a small nicker iron that references off the back of the head, which can be used for marking hinge thickness or other small distances
